RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–723–70 with Neighborhood House of North Richmond, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $393,045, to provide substance abuse residential treatment and detoxification services, for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2013, in an amount not to exceed $196,522.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 76% by Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant, 19% Bay Area Service Network and 5% Second Chance Act. (Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment services in a residential setting so that men and women are provided an opportunity to achieve sobriety and recover from the effects of alcohol and other drug use, become self-sufficient, and return to their families and community as productive individuals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 16, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–723–68 (as amended by Contract Amendment #24-723-69) with Neighborhood House of North Richmond for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, for the provision of substance abuse residential treatment and detoxification services.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–723–70 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2013.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County residents will not receive the substance abuse residential treatment and detoxification services that they need.
